Traditionally, the main focus of the management and professionals in the industrial sector was
to continuously increase the productivity, reliability, flexibility, and quality of the industrial process. More
recently, increasing attention is being paid to the energy efficiency of the production process as well as the
environmental performance of the production buildings. In this context, this paper presents results of a research
effort concerned with a comprehensive computational environment for the integrative assessment of industrial
production facilities. Specifically, characteristics and systems of such an environment are analyzed, including
relevant entities and their representations, associated data exchange requirements, and coupled multi-domain
modeling and simulation tools. Additionally, the potential benefits of coupled simulation are presented based on
an illustrative parametric simulation case study of an industrial production facility.
